Dog tax! Found it.... I think. The Lib Dems would require all dogs to be micro-chipped so that irresponsible owners and stray animals can be better dealt with. Registration fees would pay for chips, the register and wardens. Not high on my list of priorities admittedly (though it's hardly a LD flagship policy either) but sounds sensible and inoffensive enough to me.

Tory and New Labour scaremongering at work again. The fact that the phrase 'dog tax' is being bandied around against the LDs without anyone knowing (or explaining) what the policy is only goes to show the banality of political debate through the media in this country.
